THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

It seems likely to me that our military departure can’t last long. Iran will meddle in Iraqi affairs even more than they already do, and the political coalitions we helped scrape together will fall apart. Some of them already are. We’ve kept troops in Germany since 1944, but a decade in Iraq is too long? [...]

Messy? You bet. Otherwise, however, we have as Lee Smith wrote last week in Tablet, become Iran’s ally in its drive to create a nuclear weapon. And Obamalot’s recent decision to withdraw our troops from Iraq, only adds to the problem. “It was misguided to turn American soldiers into potential hostages to Iranian terror. It’s [...]

What’s changed since that awful morning? Well, nothing on the Islamic war against the West. It continues. Our all-volunteer military, while benefiting from a new generation of volunteers, remains stressed with two major campaigns and a host of smaller ones. For the first time, the National Guard and Reserves have become continuously- active parts of [...]

“….today, worshipers in the mosques and crowds in the streets are treated to a special Friday prayer.  The muezzins call for a Holy War against bad Jews everywhere in the world, and urge the rulers and people of every country to chase them away and clean their soil of them.  There is no doubt that [...]

“For decades we watched protesters in the Middle East burn the flags of America, the UK and Israel, as these countries were believed to represent the ‘enemies of the people.’ For the first time, we see protesters burn the flags of Iran, Russia and Hezbollah for a change! Are we witnessing a moment of redefining [...]

This Texas soldier, dead in Iraq in 2007, still has a website maintained by his family. No surprise, of course, but worth a look. Turn the sound on. I just hope the fools of Obamalot stick to their pledge not to put ground troops into Libya.

I really can’t see why American troops have to risk their lives “for the Libyan people.” Let the Libyan people get off their fat asses and get rid of their own dictator. Why should our guys die to save them? So the Democrats and the Hildabeast can look decisive, tough, etc.? She/they simply look like [...]

They hiss and they jeer and they heckle, especially at Columbia U., where the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell opposition to ROTC was just an excuse. Now there’s a big surprise.

Start with the latest: Army Pvt. Devon J. Harris Died November 27, 2010 serving during Operation Enduring Freedom Age 24, of Mesquite, Tex.; assigned to Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 10th Mountain Division, at Ft. Polk, La.; died Nov. 27 in Wardak province, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his unit with a rocket-propelled grenade. [...]

A key revelation of the Wikileaks doc dump confirms what some of us have long believed: “U.S. servicemen and -women are being dispatched to combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan where they are fighting Iranian soldiers and assets in a regional war with the Islamic Republic that our officials dare not discuss, lest they have [...]
